Reuters Events Transform Food & Agriculture USA 2025
Event description
Transform Food & Agriculture USA convenes 200 decision-makers from across the agri-food value chain to tackle the urgent challenges facing global food systems, from climate risk and labor shortages to market volatility and rising input costs. The event focuses on collaborative, climate-smart solutions that can deliver impact at scale.
GFI’s Caroline Bushnell will lead a dynamic discussion on how protein diversification can advance sustainability goals, boost resilience, and offer consumers more—and better—choices. Panelists will share practical strategies for integrating plant-based, cultivated, and fermentation-derived proteins into core business plans, aligning ESG targets, and unlocking the capital and market demand needed to accelerate a nature- and climate-positive food future.
Join us in Minneapolis to connect with industry leaders, explore cutting-edge solutions, and shape the resilient, sustainable food system we need.
